One more thing: „we” did not arrive here „more than 100”, but approximately 1000 years ago. Funny to be here in the middle of Europe with no relatives here at all… Yes, one of our closest relatives are the Finnish guys. But it does not mean that we’d understand a word of each others languages: there are no similar words <i>at all</i> – the grammar might be a bit similar, the rules of using this or that vowel – and so on. So it's not as close as Spanish and Portugese, or English and German.

Widdling about pretending to be Stevie Vai is all very well but a more interesting application would be to use it for composition and thus gain instant digital gratification.

Just for doc.( I guess everybody knows): more tha 100 years ago they came from beyond the Urals to settle down in Europe. Together with the magyars, we now call those peolple the Hungarians. Same tribe, they just splitted up while penetrating Europe.. Bit of an eternal exception in EU and vis à vis their neighbours. Most important : both very musical. Balint, where are you? The former Finnish PM told me a number of years ago that there are only .. 12 words left ( in Finnish & Hungarian) that are +/- similar.
